#33 Elfyn EVANS - Scott MARTIN

“Things were looking pretty okay by Saturday afternoon. We struggled a bit with the puncture on the last one yesterday and another one this morning. Bit disappointed this time, but that's part of the game and we have to move on to the next one."

#18 Takamoto KATSUTA - Aaron JOHNSTON

“It was quite tough from the beginning, but we knew it. We try our best to manage the situation. I was just trying to avoid all the punctures. Lottery, but we are here today.”

#99 Oliver SOLBERG - Elliott EDMONDSON

“Very disappointed. Mentally is very tough. It’s hard but we have to keep fighting. We need to reset and find a way to go forward.”

#5 Sami PAJARI - Marko SALMINEN

“I was hoping to catch Josh. But I want to congratulate him for his best result. It was a tricky Rally for us, but we made the best of it.”

#1 Sébastien OGIER - Vincent LANDAIS

“Finally I won again here! It was a long weekend. I felt every stone in this stage. A very good weekend.”

#16 Adrien FOURMAUX - Alexandre CORIA

“I have to say thanks to the team. We have a great car this weekend. It’s difficult because we have set some good times.” Rear right puncture

#11 Thierry NEUVILLE - Martijn WYDAEGHE

“I am a little bit disappointed. The car was performing well. I have mixed feelings. Fair play for Sebastien. In Portugal we benefit from his puncture and this time maybe he benefits from ours. That's rallying.”

#95 Jon ARMSTRONG - Shane BYRNE

“It’s so nice to get our first stage win. But rallies are tough. We have to think of the positives. Our pace was good even with our starting position. This stage was super rough.”

#55 Joshua MCERLEAN - Eoin TREACY

“Honestly massive thanks to all the team! It's been a tough year in the beginning. What a Rally!”

#22 Mārtiņš SESKS - Renārs FRANCIS

“We started well. Saturday was not good. Rather than we had a good Rally. No mistakes.”

#9 Jourdan SERDERIDIS - Frédéric MICLOTTE

“It was a great weekend. I want to congratulate the organization and also the Greek fans! They are incredible.”

#24 Alejandro CACHÓN - Borja ROZADA

“It looks very stressful to avoid the rocks. We did very good work. We were intelligent. We are here at the podium. Good points for the championship. Thanks to the team for all the effort.”

#26 Andreas MIKKELSEN - Jørn LISTERUD

“There are more positives from this weekend. That’s life, we deserved to win.”

#27 Robert VIRVES - Jakko VIILO

“Not the easiest Rally. I was really nursing the car in here. I thought we had a puncture. Amazing weekend. Great battle with Andreas, shame it ended like that.”
